How is it poor form to claim enlightenment? Jim has been doing it for years and
most of those yahoos on BATGAP claim to be, tho many use the term "awakened".
One of my closest friends had a 2 hour lunch with on of them, Francis Bennet
last Sunday. I spent an hour on the phone getting filled in on his impressions.
Interesting.

It's considered poor form do discuss one's IQ as much as it is to claim one is
enlightened. I had no idea I was tested for IQ as a kid and only told that in
the 1980s by my mother and what IQ was measured. Sure drugs, sex and age
probably take it's toll. :-D
